🧪 Proberaum* for Backstage Plugins
October 25, 2025 · View on GitHub
*German for rehearsal room
This repo contains multiple early-stage Backstage plugins. The processes, tooling, and workflows are based on those in backstage/community-plugins. Thanks to the Backstage Community, Spotify and Red Hat for making this setup public.
This is somehow a incubator for new plugins. I like to move some of them later into the Backstage Community Plugins repo if there is a demand for some of them. But for the first iterations it's easier to create them here.
Anyway, some of these plugins (GitHub Notifications) are imo stable enough to try them even in production. But this repository does not provide any commerical or official support. Feel free to raise issues or PRs in this repository. I'm open for any kind of feedback or contributions to existing plugins.
